Default Trim settings the same for takeoff and landing?

Several times, while flying from Denver to Salt Lake (direct) in my 182, the
air was so smooth that there was no sensation of movement at all, if I
closed my eyes, and I could lazily climb or descend at 100 to 200 fpm just
by leaning forward or back in my seat.

At those times, it was a lot like flying a simulator, except MUCH more
stable and with way better graphics!

Exactomundo. Heck, I lean forward or lean back and find myself having
to adjust trim. You just know to adjust it, not look down and set at
a predetermine setting and expect it to be the same setting on
landing.

Guess that's missed in the realism setting of 10 in MSFS LOL
